Chapter 6 Section VI

From the next day, Liang Dingfen started packing his bags.So, the farewell of the farewell, the farewell of the farewell.Because of the impeachment of the powerful and powerful, Liang Dingfen became famous for a while, and Liang Dingfen was also quite excited, and engraved a spare chapter: "Dismissed from office at the age of 27". This day, Yao Litai, his fellow countryman and a colleague of the Imperial Academy, invited him to see the lotus, and they chatted goodbye.The location is the Paozi River in the east of Chongwenmen, with a long stream in front and a large lake in the back, surrounded by battlements on both sides in the southeast, and a majestic stand in the north, which is the observatory of Qin Tianjian.Tall locust trees and weeping willows on both banks, surrounded by a field of red and white lotus, is a famous scenic spot in Dongcheng.

There are only three hosts and guests, and the only accompanying guest is Wen Tingshi.In the afternoon, we first meet at the Liang family. The Liang family's Qifeng Garden is located in the Qifenglou Hutong of Dongdan Pailou, not far from the Paozi River, so we walked here in a leisurely manner.The Yao family's servants had already hired a boat with food boxes and were waiting.However, the scorching sun was in full bloom, so even though I got off the boat, I just moored under the shade of willows, drinking tea and gossiping. "Xinghai," Yao Litai asked, "I heard that Baojuan is in Beijing, does that make sense?"

"Yes!" Liang Dingfen pointed to Wen Tingshi and said, "I have asked Yun Ge to take care of it. After three to five months, we will see the situation." "It's better to pick it up as soon as possible." Yao Litai said, "I have a house in Xiguan. Two days ago, my brother-in-law wrote a letter saying that the tenant will expire in October and decide to withdraw the lease. You may wish to go and see it when you arrive in Guangzhou. If it is suitable , you don’t need to bother to find a house.” Liang Dingfen naturally thanked her again and again, but her heart ached.Chatting with Mrs. Gong for several days, she has repeatedly stated that she never wants to return to Guangzhou, so Yao Litai's kindness can only be appreciated, but it is not convenient to express it clearly.

"How's your poetry going recently?" Yao Litai asked again. "It's hot, so I'm too lazy to bother." Wen Tingshi replied: "It's Xinghai, it's quite a sad farewell work." "Based on your friendship, how many good poems should I send to Xinghai?" "Naturally, this cannot be avoided." Wen Tingshi said, "I plan to fill in one or two long tunes, but it's still early." "That's right! We must have words today. Let's sing the rhymes," Yao Litai pointed to the lotus and asked, "Let's use this as the topic. How about it?"

"Okay!" Liang Dingfen said enthusiastically, "I've been thinking about composing lyrics for the past two days. Look, what brand do you use?" "Not ready-made?" Wen Tingshi pointed to the city wall and said, ""Taicheng Road"." At the gathering of famous scholars, the servants all brought paper, pen, ink box, and poetry score cards. At that time, Liang Dingfen picked up the rhyme, and Liang Dingfen picked up the word "Jeng", and blurted out: "A piece of cloud blows and falls, and the cool breeze settles in a pool." "What a talent!" Yao Litai praised, took the pen in his hand, "I'll transcribe." Liang Dingfen nodded, staring at the setting sun outside the willows, and whispered: "The autumn is bleak, and the flowers and branches are nostalgic. Who cares if there is no nostalgia? "

"Good!" Yao Litai wrote the lyrics and praised, "It's like a white stone!" "How dare I look at Jiang Baishi?" Liang Dingfen read again: "The sun is setting forever, look at the water's edge, and the plain clothes are neat; laugh at the lotus baby, and the singing falls on the smoking boat." "It's time to 'change the head'. The first half of the column is about the scenery, and the second half is about people." "This is a question to test me." Liang Dingfen said with a smile, "I originally wanted to describe the scene to the end, but what you said made me start all over again."

After finishing speaking, he turned his face away, peeled off his nails, and moaned softly.Wen Tingshi looked at the manuscript, but thought in his heart: "The autumn is bleak, the flowers and branches are nostalgic, who can save me if I don't have any thoughts?" Wen Tingshi was playing with Liang Dingfen's "Silence", and Yao Litai was also concentrating on conceiving, all in silence.Just listening to the soft sound of "wave, wave", the tightly wrapped lotus petals open one by one, revealing the delicate yellow powder stamens, sending a faint fragrance, which is darkened by the wind, refreshing and helping people to think.

"I have it all!" Liang Dingfen said, "I will write it myself." Taking the pen and paper from Yao Litai's hand, he read it again in one swoop, erased and added a few words, then put down the pen, and leaned back, with a rather brisk demeanor. So Yao Litai and Wen Tingshi leaned over to look at each other. The second half of the "Taicheng Road" wrote: "The poet just woke up from the dream of drinking, and the love of youth has not stopped. Hand in hand. The moon is twilight, and the frost is thin Next, cherish the current situation. The red incense is taken by oneself, let it drift into the river, and it has never been desolate; it is just lovesickness, and the path is covered with tears and moss."

"This is about remnant lotus." Yao Litai admired in a low voice: "Low and sad, with deep love." Of course Liang Dingfen was proud, and stretched out his hand: "Where's yours?" "I'm going to be white." Wen Tingshi shook his head, remorseful. "Me too." Yao Litai interfaced, "Jade and jade are in front of me, but I'm afraid, so I have no choice but to stop writing." "Why is that so?" Liang Dingfen said reservedly, "This piece of mine is really not good, and I can still grasp the title before, so I'm afraid it will be a perfunctory ridicule if I change it."

"Although the first half of the book is good, others have reached this level, but the second half of the book is unattainable. It describes the true temperament and face." Yao Litai turned his face and asked: "Yunge, what do you think of my discussion?" "Naturally, it's the words of those who know." After a short pause, Wen Tingshi raised his voice and said, "'Ren drifted into the river, never bleak', Xinghai, 'The night moon is twilight, and the frost is fine, cherish that scene .” The original work is "this scene", why did "now" be changed to "that", Yao Litai was puzzled, and then asked: "What is that scene?"

The ambiguous sentiment can only be understood, and it will be meaningless if it is broken.Liang Xinghai knew it well. Five years ago, the last string of September coincided with the writing of "The Scenery" in "The night moon was twilight, and the frost fell finely". marriage.Although the kindness is appreciable, but there is no Nuwa in the world, how can we mend the sky?It seems that lovesickness is superfluous.
